Claw Foot Bathtub Freestanding Bathtubs

The average bathtub is typically 140-180 centimetres long and 90-100 centimetres wide. The smaller sizes can comfortably fit a person. If you want your tub to accommodate 2 people, it should be at least 170 x 80 centimetres.

For a two-person bathtub, choose one without an overflow to maximise bath depth.

Be sure that the bathtub you're buying will fit in your bathroom. People sometimes purchase bathtubs that are too large, making them difficult to fit in the bathroom or carry through the door.

The most common type of bathtubs nowadays are made of various acrylic materials. But you can also find some made of marble. Here are some characteristics:

• Cast iron baths are heavy, but resistant to impacts and scratches. They might feel cold to touch where the water doesn't heat.

• Acrylic baths are easy to repair and polish if they get scratched. One downside is that they might be seen as inexpensive. But they usually feel warm against your skin, even before the water has time to warm up the bath.

• Cast marble baths are great at retaining heat. They give off a more luxurious vibe compared to acrylic ones. They can be heavy and fixing scratches might be more challenging.
